Nine of the 12 football clubs across Europe who initially agreed to participate in the 'Super League' have accepted monitory sanctions imposed by the UEFA. The clubs have also formally renounced the breakaway league and have committed to the existing European competitions. They will have to give up 5 per cent of their UEFA revenue for one season as a punishment for the rebellion. The Super League project imploded after the English clubs - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur - backed out inside 48 hours after a backlash from fans and the British government. The nine clubs will make a combined payment of 15 million euros for what UEFA called a "gesture of goodwill" to benefit children, youth and grassroots football. The clubs have also agreed to be fined 100 million euros if they seek again to play in an unauthorized competition.
